Anyone doing this ride on their SS or FG? Apparently, they get a few thousand riders every year, so should be a blast. I'm planning on doing the 40-mile route starting from Bronx County Building at 161 Street & The Grand Concourse (10am check-in). I'll either take the subway or ride up from Central Park if others want to ride up.

The price is right - registration for the ride is free, as are lunch and snacks.

Engineer's Gate - on the loop at 5th Ave/90th St. entrance, is a pretty good meet-up point. From there ride up to the north end of the park and out.

I think it's about 5 miles to the County Building start from Engineer's Gate. To be on the conservative side (in case anyone has a mechanical), I suggest we meet at 9:25am-9:30am, and push off at 9:35am sharp. 25 min to get to the check-in should be plenty.

If we can get a few people (say 3 or more), we can just ride up without trying to meet up with the guys coming from Brooklyn - unless they're passing through Central Park (but I would guess they're going up the east side).

i think i could meet up there at 9:25-9:30am. i'll be coming from brooklyn as well if anyone wants to hook up for the ride into CP - i start near prospect park.
